The ‘L’ shaped kitchen/dining/living room is the hub of the house with the kitchen exceptionally well appointed with many integrated appliances. There are many modern comforts and luxury fitments, as well as an impressive solar array, private water and drainage, all of which mitigate the running costs. The well enclosed gardens and raised decking are delightful and frame the outstanding views of the surrounding landscape.

The 10kw solar array feeds two large batteries and when full exports any unused energy to the grid on the feed in tariff.

The property is approached by the road where there is an off-road parking bay for several cars and access to the large tandem style double garage.

The front garden is mainly lawned and features a range of shrubs, bushes, perennials and borders. Access can be gained at either side of the house to the rear and side garden which is entirely enclosed and therefore suitable for those with pets or children to consider, again a wide range of shrubs and bushes offer a blaze of colour. On one side of the garden is a summerhouse with double doors, power and light connected. At the rear, is a split level gravelled seating area which is ideal for outside dining, a few steps away is a superb raised decked area which has been added by our clients. It is a pleasant spot to enjoy a drink and barbeque during favourable weather conditions and take in the superb outlook over the gardens and grounds. The rest of the garden area is enclosed and features a range of planted trees. Beyond is access to the field which is gently sloping and comprises of some twelve acres of pasture which is well suited for livestock. At the top, is the most outstanding view which encapsulates beautifully the surrounding landscape. In the corner of the field is a small triangular section of woodland which straddles the small watercourse which runs into Lowley Brook and then the river Tamar. It is a wonderful unspoilt environment rich in wildlife and organic wild flowers.

The following is a quotation from the home owner:

“One of the main reasons for moving here was the spacious and tranquil feel of this property. We've enjoyed the outdoor space, especially walking up and down the field which is adjoined to this amazing property. The open-plan living area and the ample space outside has been perfect for entertaining our family and friends, who never want to leave. Waking up in the mornings are always a pleasure with plenty of natural light coming in from the east facing bedroom windows from the master. Relaxing in the steam cabin is a great addition to the en-suite. I can truly unwind after finishing work.

Throughout the year we’ve been creative as this place gives you freedom up to a point. Building the raised decking area, adding lights and electrics gave ourselves, friends and family the beautiful outdoor living we wanted for years. Also the views both from the top and bottom of the field are simply breathtaking. Our nephews love playing with the dogs which gets them off their iPads! We’ve done picnicking and camping at the top of the field whilst watching the lambs in the neighbouring field.

We believe our property to be a rare find, offering the perfect combination of indoor and outdoor space and perfect for those who value peace and quiet in the evenings and weekends. Forgot the mention the stream that runs in the far corner of the field, dog heaven!.”
